Re: Can't preview 2 reports at the same time? by Matthew

How weird. When I preview the second report, the first report vanishes from
the screen. If I select the menu Window - 2 Report Designer... it becomes
visible, but I can no longer preview it - nothing happens. I have to close
it and open it up again in the report editor.
Aha, I see how it works (sorta). With reportbehavior set to 90, the report
previews in a different window from the designer. It sets the designer
window invisible, but you can make it visible again. You can actually work
in the designer while the preview is visible on the screen. I also crashed
it. Same flaw - right click on one of the designer windows, and kiss it all
goodbye. With REPORTBEHAVIOR 90 it just takes a bit more work.
Conclusion. It's still broken, with REPORTBEHAVIOR 80 or REPORTBEHAVIOR 90.
